Couldn't find a manga thread and since the last two posts were talking about Sigma, I figured this would be alright.

It was announced in today's Dragon Infant that a new manga will start next month. Temporary name is Full Metal Panic! Zero. Same original work and character design, but the manga will be drawn by Kasahara Tetsuro. Appears this one will focus on the beginning of the franchise with Sousuke and Kaname.

...As of right now, I'm totally okay with pretending this doesn't exist... I reallyreallyreallyREALLY wish I could be excited and happy about it, but... I'm reallyreallyreallyREALLY not. >.> There's just so much in this image that pains me greatly, that I just can't...

And what do we really need with YET ANOTHER retelling of the SAME. STORY?

Is someone here happy about this? Any light to shed on why I should be? I could really use some enthusiasm, but I'm just feeling so very blah about this whole project... From what I can find, it's just going to be the original story from the time Sousuke gets assigned to Kaname, so there's nothing to be excited about there, and the art, honestly, does not appeal to me in the slightest, so I just...

I need some happy D:

(Because, seriously, Sousuke has a girl's butt, WHY do their appear to be buckles on his shoes, is he goth now? Sousuke, your scar, it's so high, and there's only one cut, it's not x-shaped... Why is there a laser sight on that pistol, AND WHY IS SAID PISTOL NOT A GLOCK!? and WHY exactly, is that FN P90 so gigantic? Kaname, where did your sneakers go, why are you suddenly not sporty anymore and wearing heels? Why are your socks over your knees, you don't wear OTK socks, and OMFG YOUR POOR LEG is it dislocated at the hip, 'cause that looks so painful, and AL I AM SO SORRY. JUST. SORRY. ILY AL.)

Feisty, where'd you get this?
and no, definitely not, I don't even like this art, like, omfg Kaname's UGLY! and Souske looks young and immature D:

It's already a done deal, from the looks of things... I'm really hoping it comes out a lot better than it's been looking so far, 'cause I can't for the life of me figure out what the point is of this at all...

Looks like some I could have drawn while I was drawing (several years ago), but the coloring job... no. Just no. And I agree with what they have done to Kaname. No. Somebody needs some art classes...

About the only thing I can say for it is I actually like the blue stripe on Sousuke's uniform - makes it match Kaname's a little.

It's official... D: It's from tentatively titled "Full Metal Panic! Zero" which is a retelling of the original FMP story by another manga artist... As far as I can tell, it's not any content that hasn't already been covered by manga, but it's not out yet, so maybe it'll surprise me... This isn't a new manga artist, either, Kasahara has some other works...

Yeah, the stripe on the boys' uniforms was always supposed to match the girls... If you look at the few pics from the novel art where the boys' uniform is colored, you'll see it's blue there, too. I have absolutely no idea where the decision came in to make it purple in the anime *shrug* Maybe it didn't look so good in practice? I don't know...

Let it be a concept piece, then... trying it on for size, perhaps... or seeing how well the artist could do in a short period of time... Don't let this be final work
